As the monthly environmental sanitation exercise kicked off today across Lagos State, the APC State Women Leader, Alhaja Rofiat Iyabosola Eletu, has called on women to position themselves as the primary architects of a healthier society.

Speaking during the inaugural exercise at the Ikoyi-Obalende LCDA, alongside the First Lady of Lagos State, Dr. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, Eletu emphasized that the journey toward a Greater Lagos begins at home.

She argued that women, as the primary influencers within the family unit, hold the key to long-term behavioral change in the state.

“If we can govern the hygiene of our households, we can surely govern the hygiene of our streets. When we maintain a spotless home, we raise children who value order. A clean home is a sanctuary that wards off disease and fosters peace of mind.”

The Women Leader closed her address with a rallying cry, urging every woman in Lagos to pick up the mantle and refuse to tolerate filth in their communities.

Eletu noted that taking charge of the environment today is an investment in the health of future generations.

She reminded citizens that the environmental sanitation exercise and care must be a daily commitment.

“Cleanliness is a lifestyle, not an event,” she concluded.
